Number System
In a number system, these numbers are used as digits. 0
and 1 are the most common digits in the number
system, that are used to represent binary numbers. On
the other hand, 0 to 9 digits are also used for other
number systems. Let us learn here the types of number
systems.

Types of Number Systems


There are various types of number systems in
mathematics. The four most common number system
types are:
1. Decimal number system (Base- 10)
2. Binary number system (Base- 2)
3. Octal number system (Base-8)
4. Hexadecimal number system (Base- 16)
Now, let us discuss the different types of number
systems with examples

Decimal Number System (Base 10 Number


System)
The decimal number system has a base of 10 because it
uses ten digits from 0 to 9. In the decimal number
system, the positions successive to the left of the
decimal point represent units, tens, hundreds, thousands
and so on. This system is expressed in decimal
numbers. Every position shows a particular power of
the base (10).
Example of Decimal Number System:
The decimal number 1457 consists of the digit 7 in the
units position, 5 in the tens place, 4 in the hundreds
position, and 1 in the thousands place whose value can
be written as:
(1×103) + (4×102) + (5×101) + (7×100)
(1×1000) + (4×100) + (5×10) + (7×1)
1000 + 400 + 50 + 7
1457

Binary Number System (Base 2 Number


System)
The base 2 number system is also known as the Binary
number system wherein, only two binary digits exist,
i.e., 0 and 1. Specifically, the usual base-2 is a radix of
2. The figures described under this system are known as
binary numbers which are the combination of 0 and 1.
For example, 110101 is a binary number.
We can convert any system into binary and vice versa.
Example
Write (14)10 as a binary number.
Solution:
(14)10 = 11102

Octal Number System (Base 8 Number


System)
In the octal number system, the base is 8 and it uses
numbers from 0 to 7 to represent numbers. Octal
numbers are commonly used in computer applications.
Converting an octal number to decimal is the same as
decimal conversion and is explained below using an
example.
Example: Convert 2158 into decimal.
Solution:
2158 = 2 × 82 + 1 × 81 + 5 × 80
= 2 × 64 + 1 × 8 + 5 × 1
= 128 + 8 + 5
= 14110

Hexadecimal Number System (Base 16


Number System)
In the hexadecimal system, numbers are written or
represented with base 16. In the hexadecimal system,
the numbers are first represented just like in the decimal
system, i.e. from 0 to 9. Then, the numbers are
represented using the alphabet from A to F. The below-
given table shows the representation of numbers in
the hexadecimal number system.

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F
Hexadecimal
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

Number System Chart


In the number system chart, the base values and the
digits of different number systems can be found. Below
is the chart of the numeral system.
Number System Conversion
Numbers can be represented in any of the number
system categories like binary, decimal, hexadecimal,
etc. Also, any number which is represented in any of the
number system types can be easily converted to
another. Check the detailed lesson on the conversions of
number systems to learn how to convert numbers in
decimal to binary and vice versa, hexadecimal to binary
and vice versa, and octal to binary and vice versa using
various examples.
With the help of the different conversion procedures
explained above, now let us discuss in brief about the
conversion of one number system to the other number
system by taking a random number.
Assume the number 349. Thus, the number 349 in
different number systems is as follows:
The number 349 in the binary number system is
101011101
The number 349 in the decimal number system is 349.
The number 349 in the octal number system is 535.
The number 349 in the hexadecimal number system is
15D
Example 1:
Convert (1001001100)2 to a decimal number.
Solution:
(1001001100)2
= 1 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 1 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 0 × 24 +
1 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 0 × 21 + 0 × 20
= 512 + 64 + 8 + 4
= (588)10
Example 2:
Convert 101012 into an octal number.
Solution:
Given,
101012 is the binary number
We can write the given binary number as,
010 101
Now as we know, in the octal number system,
010 → 2
101 → 5
Therefore, the required octal number is (25)8
Example 3:
Convert hexadecimal 2C to decimal number.
Solution:
We need to convert 2C16 into binary numbers first.
2C → 00101100
Now convert 001011002 into a decimal number.
101100 = 1 × 25 + 0 × 24 + 1 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 0 × 21 + 0 ×
20
= 32 + 8 + 4
= 44
